Guard your body with the best barbed wire

And watch yourself stumble down a lane with no lights

School like life turns some men into mice
Dm C Dm
What you need now is a little piece of mouse advice

Especially if they offer you sweets

On half the mad fuckers you meet

Go back to the man with the sweets

Do yourself schooling favor

Head back to the man with the sweets
